House Fan Fiction Archive is an archive for House, M.D. fanfiction.

It uses the Automated Archive software and is hosted by Squidge.org.

From the front page:

Because the archive has been established to accommodate fan stories of all ratings, it is asked that everyone accessing the site be over the age of majority in his or her location. Stories of a mature nature have been archived herein, so consider yourselves warned.

From the FAQ:

Why is the search form so complicated?

My goal when choose the archive software and designing the search engine was to make it as easy as possible for readers to find exactly what they were looking for in a story. There's a lot of variety in fan fiction, which means that we need a lot of categories so that people who really don't like certain kinds of fiction can avoid it, and so that people who really love certain kinds of fiction can find only that type of story.

The search engine is very versatile, but that also means there are a lot of options. I have received a few complaints that it is too complicated and/or confusing, but I promise you that this is the simplest and most intuitive search engine that I could find. The only way to make it easier to use would be to remove options. In my opinion, this kind of defeats the point of having a search engine in the first place.

If you don't care about some of the options offered, then don't select them. Not selecting things on the search engine won't stop it from working.

How do I view all the stories in the archive?

Go to the Search Engine and click "Submit" without changing anything. The engine will automatically return all archived stories sorted by author, starting with the A authors and ending with Z authors.[1]
